End of Poetry.

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)

Rhymed
The sweeter things I faced
The blinder I became

The softer the voice I heard
The weaker was my weaping

The tighter they embraced
The poorer my heart felt

The duller my veins pumped
The light more than strengthened

The faster the sands of time fell
The further I lept from the embodied

The wholer I became in spirit
The loss of words that I regreted.
